PHIL Wilson is licking his lips in anticipation after his Lancaster City side landed a plum draw in the final qualifying round of the FA Cup.
The Dolly Blues were paired with Conference outfit and ex-League club Scarborough - and Wilson is primed for the Giant Axe clash on Saturday week.
"It's a very good draw for us," says Wilson. "It is a tough one - but we are at home and that's all you can hope for in the FA Cup.
"Scarborough will bring a good few with them and I would like to see a few more of our supporters coming because we are doing well and it will be a good game."
But Wilson is aware that two tough away games stand between his side and the cup tie. They travel to Alfreton on Saturday and Worksop on Tuesday, and the manager says: "They are two hard games and we will see what we have learned this season.
"We have been very good away on occasions - but we have also played badly and we will have to be on top of our game in both matches."
Jamie Murphy (ankle) is rated as a 50-50 chance, while Danny Stone and Ian Dawes face fitness tests.
Meanwhile, Morecambe also landed a home tie in the draw - and have the perfect chance to reach the first round proper.
The Shrimps will face Nationwide North outfit Hucknall Town, who progressed thanks to a 1-0 replay win over Altrincham on Tuesday, their goal coming with the tie a minute away from extra time.
But Harvey is not taking anything for granted and says: "A home draw is about the best we can ask for at this stage of the competition, so that will be an advantage.
"The Cup is a big compe-tition for us with a £10,000 cheque for this round and that is a big incentive."
Morecambe entertain Steve-nage Borough on Saturday as they look to extend their eight match unbeaten run.
But they will have to make do without leading scorer Michael Twiss, who serves a one match ban after collecting five bookings.
o Lancaster City have been drawn away to Skelmersdale United in the first round of the Lancashire Marsden Trophy. Cup holders Morecambe have a bye into the next round.
